Alex loves giraffes, and I can understand why, they have such pretty faces, as long as they don't stick out their blue tongues!
We have a place up the road called Safari West, where you can go and see wild animals like the giraffes here. Sometime when driving by, if the giraffes or other animals are near the road you can see them. Who'd a thunk, that right smack in the middle of wine country, you can go on a safari, just as if you were on the Serengeti!
I got this pair off the internet, colored and fussy cut them. The bg is a Tim Holtz embossed tree and landscape done by me with water color pencils. I'm saying this is a scene from Safari west.
I hope all these giraffes going Alex's way, put a smile on her face and in her heart!

Jennifer, this is a beautiful giraffe card for Alex. Shows such a loving moment......makes one feels all warm and fuzzy. I had to laugh at your blue tongue statement...it's true I've seen it at the zoo when they are nibbling on tasty leaves. I'm drawn to their gorgeous long eyelashes. Alex is sure to love this very special card.

I'm really starting to like giraffes myself lately. I love the long necks and the long legs. This is such an awesome image of the two giving each other a hug. I think Alex is going to love this card!!
